Standard Operating temp of a 360 V8
« on: January 14, 2012, 08:18:59 PM »

Has anyone got a factory temp the 360 should run at under normal driving conditions, mine is sitting at about 75-80 degC (good quality mech gauge) think this may be a little cold? Or possibbly a good sign of propper cooling and plenty of space for increase when giving it the beans. Anyways any comments welcomed.

I'd say the engines running nice and cool, nobody wants an engine too run too hot
